To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID BUscH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Adjustable Baking-Rings, of whichthefollowing is a specification.

his invention relates to a new and useful improvement in rings forbaking biscuits, cakes, muffins and similar articles, and its object isthe production of an adjustable ring, which may be varied within thelimits of the largest and smallest sizes of which The invention consistsprimarily in an adjustable baking ring.

In the drawings: Figure top view of the device at the adjustment. Fig. 2

1 represents a outer limit of represents an edge view. Fig. 3 representsa top View of the device at the inner limit of adjustment.

In these drawings the numeral 1 designates a single strip havingparallel edges and made of elastic material continuously both surfaces,havin the same width throughout and adapted to be used as a ring forbaking biscuits, cakes, muflins,-etc. At the ends 2 and 3 of this strip1 there are loops 4 and 5. The body of the strip passes and 5 so thatthe strip 1 is slidable through both loops. One loop 4 has a bindingscrew I 6 passing into it so as to bind against the strip 1.

,If desired the strip may have on its surof any desired movement upon 7In use, the ring is made size withinthe limit of its itself. It may beopened to the largest size, as shown in Fig. 1, or compressed to thesmallest size as shown in Fig. 2. The loops 4 and 5 hold the ends of thestrip and also and inner movement of ad- Within these limits, the stripis adjustable. The sizes may be varied to suit any amount of change.With the scale the strip may be adjusted to any determined size. Whilethe binding screw 6 may be useful, it is not essential as the elasticityof through. these loops 4:,

the strip will bind it sufiiciently against the loops so as to preventany unintentional changes in the size of the ring.

This elastic strip passing through these loops is held therein in anyadjustable position by the pressure of the strip upon the This producesa baking ring having length and without any attachments thereto, beinglike the ordinary baking ring, except that it is adjustable. The endsare held to the strip forming the ring complete ring without anyliability of an end catching into anything. With such an inventionapplied to baking rings the number of these rings to be carried by anestablishment will be very sensibly diminished. There need be instockonly enough to bake articles of one size. Because the rings may beadjusted for any size and after one size is cooked, the rings may beadjusted for another. size. his device not having any bottom is to belaced upon a suitable bakin pan. Accordmg to pan, as many rings asdesired may and of. different sizes, thus baking sized cakes with thesame heat. is of uniform size and has Without be used, difierent Thestrip parallel edges having any projections beyond the edges. The ringis cylindrical and will be flat on the pan upon whichever edge the stripbe placed. And it maybe used with either edge down.

Having described my claim is: I I A cylindrical baking ring consistingof a single uniform strip of elastic material, having parallel edges andcontinuous smooth faces, and at each end a loop, the strippassinvention, what I ing through these loops, the strip bearing againstthe loops, adjustable therethrough, and held in adjustable position bythe pressure upon the loops.
